IMPROVISATION#246
IN SOHO

Knowing about
the loose extension
    between the use
of line and design
 for decoration
  and art
I was  taken
to Soho
to view geometric walls
of newly acquainted
illustrated anthologies
  of the fin-de-siecle
from erratas and a strata
  of  pop  sickles
to hammer out slam poetry
upon painted eccentric quilts,
woodblocks
  to share quaint mosaics
in a bizarre shape
without guilt behind
our bric-a brac backs
 amid embroidery discs
wanting to stop the clocks
going in contradictions
all ready  bent and fainting
 from my own science
   and seance of fictions
  along prisms of the unorthodox
to represent modernity
 in the floral paper school
of micro , horoscopes
and drapes
to review  pattern painting
 from London  to the techniques
   in the fraternity of hijacks
by hearing an old recording
 of Frank Sinatra
in the cool Manhattan air.
